First I want to tell you that when it comes to rescuing animals, I am always first in line. I currently have a cat that was rescued from the Humane Society on “kill day” and a dog that was rescued from a neglect situation.

Has your horse gone missing? While I recommend using all of the conventional search methods, it is possible that your horse could be found by someone that won’t have access to your local newspaper or notice the sign posted in your feedstore.

That is where www.netpossee.com comes in. They post lost as well as found adds and are totally devoted to their cause.

That way, should your horse go missing, you will have all of the necessary information to begin the search.Read more
